I have just dug a clump of Red hot pokers. I have about 20 roots here which should take well providing they are watered in for a week or two in this weather.

I have about 20 roots here which should take well providing they are watered in for a week or two in this weather.
The plant has strapping leaves and shoots up these amazing red and yellow turret shaped blooms in the Summer. I apologize for the photi as ut is from the internet because search as I may I couldn't find a photo of my plant in flower.
This plant is drought resistance. Doesn't mind the dry at all. Very hardy. I've seen it in bloom at the same time as the blue and white Agapanthus on the way to Castlepoint and it looked amazing.
Open to offers...... the lot for someone with a big garden or 1 or more if you would just like a plant. Make an offer.
Thanks for looking.

I used these glass shower doors as protection from the wind for my aviaries but having moved house I don't need them any more. If any one can make creative use of them you are welcome....free.

I'm sorry I can't photograph them properly as they are too heavy for me to left by myself....my Tarzan and Jane days are behind me. No problem for the young ones.
I've photograph just one end that I can see. Come and have a look if you think you might have a use for them....toughened glass in a frame.
Thanks for looking.

This dainty blue climber is not invasive and throughout the Summer produces masses of purple/blue thumb sized flowers. It grows in hanging baskets well too. It needs something to climb up like a verandah post or trellis or along a wire or it can sprawl out of a basket or pedestal pot.

I first saw it many years ago a mass of blue flowers up the post of a verandah and was very taken with it. I have one climbing up a Palm tree.
Strictly speaking it is an annual but I have the same plants coming away again in the Spring for 2 or 3 years in a row. It does seed with little plants but I've never found it a problem. I usually prick them out and grow them on.
Thanks for looking. Pickup is in Kuripuni.
The plant for sale is the one in the square black pot. ( the last photo)
